仓储零售商与供应商的合作模型研究

通过构建仓储零售商与供应商的合作模型来解决双方的冲突现状，基于信息共享、联合决策以及激励机制构建模型。论证双方在这三方面合作的必要性，即无论从商品的售价、订货量方面，还是从双方的利润方面，合作后都较合作前有了很大程度的改善。作为双方的决策依据具有一定的现实意义。     

需求受促销投资影响的供应链协调模型

本文以一个供应商与一个零售商组成的供应链为研究对象。市场需求受零售商进行促销投资的影响,供应商采取了共同补给期和补偿促销投资的协调策略。本文分别建立无协调策略与协调策略下零售商与供应商的利润模型,并对促销投资额与补给期的进行决策。共同补给期条件下,零售商的利润会比无协调策略条件下有所减少。供应商通过补偿促销投资的方式使得双方的利润都有所增加。最终,在共同补给期与补偿促销投资的双重策略下,零售商与供应商可以有效协调。     

供应商-零售商两级供应链协调和利润分配机制研究

文章对单个供应商与单个零售商组成的高级供应链进行研究,分析在非线性市场需求下供应商和零售商在集中决策和分散决策情况下的利润,进而对利润分配机制进行探讨。结果表明,供应链协调时的系统利润要大于不协调时的系统利润,零售商的售价决定供应链的利润,供应商的批发价决定供应链的利润分配,供应链可以通过分配因子的选择实现利润的共享。     

运输时间不确定与上游可控提前期的供应链优化与协调

研究由一个供应商与一个零售商组成的供应链系统.零售商面临确定连续需求,订货提前期由供应商可控生产(订购)时间与不确定运输时间组成.运输时间不确定所导致缺货费用由双方共同分摊.建立了分散决策与集中决策供应链模型,研究结果表明,集中决策模式下的供应链成本低于分散决策下的供应链成本,并且在集中决策模式下,最优决策是可控提前期不进行压缩.分散决策模式下,零售商承担缺货成本比例越高,博弈结果越接近集中决策模式下的结果.通过成本节约共享,可以实现供应链协调与整体优化.     

供应链共享信息准确度研究

信息共享在供应链协调过程中发挥着重要的作用,而共享信息准确度是关键。基于一个供应商和一个零售商组成的两层供应链模型,比较两者非信息共享与信息共享状态下的收益,得出信息共享准确度对于整个供应链绩效的影响,提出了提高共享信息准确度的措施。     

销售商成本信息不对称下的两阶段供应链协调

以往的文章研究了由单个供应商和单个销售商组成的供应链协调问题,给出了双方合作时的供应链协调模型,这些都是以信息共享为基础,但是现实中信息不对称使得供应链协调模型的有效性受到了冲击。为避免这种现象的发生,论文在双方合作的基础上建立了供应链双方在需求信息不对称情形下的协调模型。该模型在供应链双方协商分享供应链利润的条件下,运用激励机制使销售商诚实申报成本信息,在实现供应链利润最大化的同时使供应链成员实现双赢。     

基于Stackelberg博弈的供应链信息共享策略研究

基于Stackelberg博弈,以单一零售商与供应商为研究对象,构造了一个信息共享模型,分析了零售商与供应商是否共享信息的三种情况,结果显示零售商收集市场需求信息需花费的成本与供应商给予的价格折扣同时满足一定条件时,双方获益最大。此时,信息共享有利于增加整条供应链的价值。

The role of organizational culture and HRM on training success: evidence from the Canarian restaurant industry

This research aims to analyse the influence of organizational culture and human resources management (HRM) practices on the success of training at restaurants. Effective training is especially important for modern restaurants that aim to gain competitive advantage by means of good quality service and performance of their employees. To achieve this objective, an empirical study was conducted on 137 restaurants in the Canary Islands. Results show that organizational culture does not influence the success of the training programmes unless HRM practices that support the training process are implemented. Specifically, the study reveals the full mediating role of HRM practices between a continuous learning culture and effective training.     

Influence of institutional investors' participation on flipping activity of Malaysian IPOs

This paper examines the influence of institutional investors’ participation on flipping activity of Malaysian IPOs. Measured as the percentage of trading volume on the first trading day against the total number of shares offered, flipping is the quickest way to gain huge profits from IPOs. However, excessive flipping activity has significant potential to create artificial downward pressure on the price of IPOs. One way to reduce such an adverse effect is by strategically allocating a larger proportion of new shares to institutional investors. This is because institutional investors are normally assumed to be long-term investors. As such, they are less likely to flip their allocated IPOs in the immediate aftermarket. The long-term investment argument is consistent with institutional investors’ preference for a steady income stream in the form of dividends. Drawing upon this argument, the greater participation of institutional investors during an IPO is expected to be an effective strategy to control aggressive flipping activity. The Malaysian IPO market offers an excellent opportunity to examine this hypothesis because data regarding the allocation of new shares to institutional investors can be traced conveniently through a type of IPO referred to as “private placement”. Based upon an examination of 248 IPOs listed on Bursa Malaysia between January 2000 and December 2012, this study finds a negative relationship between institutional investors’ participation and flipping activity. This result lends strong support to the argument concerning the effectiveness of institutional investors’ participation in controlling flipping activity in the Malaysian IPO market.     

Information technology and firm performance: the role of supply chain integration

This study analyzes the correlation among integrative information technology (IT), supply chain integration (SCI), and firm performance. The results show that integrative IT is positively associated with firm performance through SCI. However, the results of this study show that integrative IT does not have a positive correlation directly with firm performance. It is considered that in the relationship between integrative IT and firm performance, a new approach such as business process-oriented view arguing that performance is yielded through the primary influence of IT is necessary rather than a traditional view that sets up their direct correlations. The findings have the following implications. First, this study presents an endeavor to investigate the consequences of integrative supply chain strategy. Second, this study provides implications in decision making so that supply chain managers can use IT in an effective way.     

The impact of using kiosk on enterprise systems in service industry

The hospitality industry services many types of travellers. Each of them needs to be analysed differently in order to accurately determine their respective service quality attributes and customer delight. The effective and efficient enterprise information systems (EISs) play a significant role in traveller’s experience and in the competitive advantages that hotels can gain. For this study, self-service kiosks and guest service agents as part of hotel’s EISs are used to investigate the impact each has on the experience of business and leisure travellers. This study provides empirical results that further investigate how to improve the service quality for both types of travellers during the registration process. This process is the first physical interaction between the travellers and the hotel. Any problem in registering would generate a long-lasting negative first impression on the travellers, thus diminishing the customer delight. In the light of our findings, this study will contribute to the effective and efficient design of self-service kiosk systems, hotel’s EISs, and improved front office management to better accommodate the specific needs of both types of travellers.

Converting volunteers to donors: Fundraising strategies for professional associations

The use of fundraising strategies in professional associations is on the rise as member donations have become an increasingly important revenue stream for the associations. This study aims to understand why member volunteers are potential donors to professional associations and to examine whether association solicitation is effective in increasing member volunteer donations. A moderated mediation model was tested with data that consisted of 3,224 professional association members. The results suggest that member satisfaction significantly mediates the relationship between member volunteering and financial giving, and solicitation only makes a difference to member volunteers who are satisfied with their membership. This study concludes that targeting satisfied member volunteers for donations could yield financial benefits to professional associations.     

Can organizational climate be managed? Making emotions rational

A leader's job is often to attempt achieving organizational alignment. Many theories propose climate as an effective means to help leaders carry out this task. Nevertheless, our understanding of which exact actions are needed to manage climate remains somewhat diffuse. We present a new cognitiveoriented view on climate, which enables us to discuss the influence of climate on managing the balance between integration and adaptation. In this article, we argue that climate is not as easy to manage as previously argued. In the short run, climate may serve as an effective emotional inertia to maintain the system in fit, as long as it is properly perceived and supported by the leadership style. In the longer run, climate is more influential to change, making it difficult to perceive it properly. This challenge may lead to transformative changes, causing leaders to have little control.     

包容型领导对员工即兴行为的影响:工作卷入的中介作用

员工即兴行为是企业应对外部环境动态性、复杂性和模糊性的有效抓手。虽已有研究对包容型领导和员工即兴行为之间的关系进行了探究,但目前对二者之间的作用机制知之甚少。论文从社会交换理论视角出发,基于458份问卷数据,实证了包容型领导与员工即兴行为的关系,研究结果表明:包容型领导正向影响员工即兴行为,工作卷入在包容型领导和员工即兴行为之间起部分中介作用,员工主动性人格正向调节包容型领导和工作卷入之间的关系。     

The effect of market sentiment and information asymmetry on option pricing

This work addresses the impact of imperfections, such as information asymmetry and market sentiment, on the performance of option pricing models. More precisely, this work compares the option pricing model of Black and Scholes and the same model in the presence of imperfections. This study is based on S&P 500 options that cover the period between 17/03/2000 and 14/06/2013. The achieved results show that, in general, in the presence of imperfections, the model is more effective than the Black and Scholes model. This research appears to be promising for the incorporation of imperfections into the assessment of options.
